It's during restless nights such as these when my mind is at its optimum state Where I am able to tap into my psyche to excavate emotions and notions once frozen like nitrate I feel the temperature rising Becoming irate The flamethrower steady mediating while it patiently waits It has me excited but also afraid Like tight roping a bridge thats charging a toll I can't afford to pay Or knowing I overdosed on a drug with no antidote In order to coast its euphoric waves Causing my heart to quit its job and my pupils to dilate As Im dethrone from my throne and thrown inside a crate To be placed to sleep for an eternity in a tumulus grave But I smile because they see me as resting When my soul is wide awake Even though my body is stiffer then a new pair of shoes I can spend all day seeking for the truth inside the truth But I'm terrified of the journey and what I might loose And the answers Fearing the exposure and what it could prove Do I have a halo or horns? Or maybe both of the two? I need to swim deeper So I do Until my lungs fill with water up to the brim And burn with white fire hotter then fallen seraphim But I continue to breast stroke into the abyss Past the wine jars The greek paintings Past cities more lost then the city of atlantis Past the treasures of the galleon of San Jose And into the door way of what was took off display And this will be the place where I will drown In exchange for discovering what was never meant to be found
